IRANIAN President Hassan Rouhani, freed from the sanctions that pinched his nation's economy for a decade, heads to Europe this week where he may sign a deal to buy 114 Airbus Group SE jets and about 17 billion euros (S$26.3 billion) of Italian contracts.
The purchase may include the double-decker A380 superjumbo jet as well as the A320 family of aircraft, Iran Air chairman and managing director Farhad Parvaresh said. The first of the 114 aircraft intended for Iran Air are expected to be delivered before March 21, Mehr news agency reported, citing Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhoundi.
